Precise puppy 5.4.90 :
- users and groups are still wrong for many files.
- /home should exist for adding new users.
- scripts and files could be simpler and follow "standards", the distro to follow would be "arch linux". One example is /etc/group which should look like :

I've downloaded and installed Precise 5.4.9.1. It looks good, but I cannot test it properly without the devx and the kernel sources (kernel-3.8.0-rc7-nopae-i586). I have not been able to find them in the usual places.

I can confirm that pnethood and YASSM fail to connect to a Puppy machine (running Slacko 5.3.2.7), but do connect to a Windows XP share.

Would it be possible to provide for Precise Puppy a lightweight application that allows to notify emails found on different addresses?

What is wrong with the supplied Seamonkey's notifications (visual and/or audio)? You can easily configure multiple accounts as well. Admittedly SeaMonkey has to be running but it can just sit in the background if you are not browsing or emailing.

I always feel that the little Seamonkey icon (of which there are several instances) in the menu does not match most of the other icons in terms of graphics quality.

There are some nicer icons with different ones for the different Seamonkey components in /usr/lib/seamonkey*/chrome/icons/default and although they are .png files I was wondering if it might be possible to make use of them.

If so I feel it would greatly improve the look of the menu out of the box._________________Oscar in England

I am curious as to why these are only ever displayed as USB icons rather than card icons.
Is this a hardware issue or a bug? - It seems to afflict Slacko as well as Precise.
It applies regardless of the theme being used. Here is an example:

Nothing is wrong with Seamonkey, but with less powerful computers (that is the target of Puppy) Seamonkey is too resource intensive to be present in the background (it uses too much RAM).
I would find free application, lightweight and flexible, which can be viewed online my different email addresses, and then propose the deletion (to eliminate spam) or downloading (via Sylpheed, Seamonkey, & Co).

I confess, on my computer I sometimes run a virtual machine that includes my old installation (when I used Windows). It's a base XP that allows me to use my exotic devices : webcam, multifunction printers -function, etc.
This installation also includes one software that I had purchased in 2007 to view/sort my emails without needing to download them : Mail Washer http://www.mailwasher.net/
Will it ever be possible to benefit from a similar application on Linux?
